Grants for Security Upgrades in Small Businesses and Bodegas.
This law allows federal crime-fighting funds (Byrne-JAG grants) to be used specifically for enhancing security in small, local convenience stores, often known as bodegas. These funds can cover the installation of panic buttons and surveillance equipment. The goal is to increase safety for both store owners and customers in neighborhood retail locations.
